      Or more like #Apple? ;) @filippobovo: #Ubuntu like a sort of little new #Microsoft?

      @con: Hmmmm when #Ubuntu will sell own pc and hardwares with its OS, then #Canonical will be the new #Apple. #Google is the new Apple too!

      @con Switching back to debian is great, but his reasons are based on conjecture, not facts.

      @danborne i read that article. i figure ubuntu has it fans and debian also. no reason for infighting. we are linux addicts i reckon.

      @seeds I understand what you mean; I just disagree with his reasoning.

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 21:47:35 UTC
    • Billy Billy Dan Osborne

      @danborne yea i didn't like his reasoning at all

      @danborne: I still find the article by @bkuhn food for thought. Thank you for your feedback.

      @filippobovo: That's a very valid point. Perhaps our goal, as users, is to simply work with the least of the evils? ;-)

    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Dan Osborne

      @danborne, It's fact: #Canonical develops & ships proprietary software. The only conjecture in that blog post is about what Asay might do.

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 22:18:35 UTC
    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Filippo Bovo

      @filippobovo, keep perspective: #Apple is much more insidious than both #Canonical & #Google . Google, in turn, much more so than Canonical.

      @seeds, it's not a question of being a "Linux addict". It's a question of whether the distribution maker is dedicated to software freedom

    • Philip Herron Philip Herron Bradley M. Kuhn

      @bkuhn i liked your blog post nice to see your coming back to #debian i just prefer it because i dont have to worry about it, its stable! :)

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 22:26:05 UTC
    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Debian , Philip Herron

      @redbrain,hardy was actually as stable as !debian lenny. I switched so I would know my distribution makers are dedicated to software freedom

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 22:27:57 UTC
    • Philip Herron Philip Herron Bradley M. Kuhn

      @bkuhn yeah i totally respect that i prefer to live in software freedom but it just so happens i prefer debian at the same time :)

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 22:35:34 UTC
    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Debian , Philip Herron

      @redbrain, yeah, I really like the way !debian is technically structured as well, although things like Foresight Linux seem very interesting

    • Filippo Bovo Filippo Bovo

      @con Ahahah that's possible, effectively... :P

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 23:47:56 UTC
    • Filippo Bovo Filippo Bovo Bradley M. Kuhn

      @bkuhn I though about #ChromeOS and the future computers that #Google could sell with its own OS. This would make Google similar to #Apple !

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 23:49:16 UTC
    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Filippo Bovo

      @filippobovo, #Google is dangerous & getting worse,but they aren't as bad for software freedom as #Apple (yet). I agree #ChromeOS dangerous.

      Saturday, 24-Apr-10 23:58:37 UTC
    • Filippo Bovo Filippo Bovo Bradley M. Kuhn

      @bkuhn Yes, i agree with you. #ChromeOS is dangerous and limited (something like #Google Talk compared to #Jabber).

      @bkuhn I think that some of the server backend of rPath is proprietary.

    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn j1mc

      @j1mc, Troubling to hear that. I'll ask them about it. Does Foresight rely on it? I didn't think that it did; it just used packaging stuff?
